Clinical Application
Provides atraumatic exposure of the vaginal walls and fornices for diagnostic and operative gynecologic procedures. Common uses include vaginal examinations, dilation & curettage, repair of vaginal lacerations, anterior/posterior repairs, and facilitation of access during vaginal hysterectomy and other transvaginal procedures. The blade dimensions support broad surface contact to distribute retraction force and minimize focal pressure on mucosa.
Design & Configuration
The hand-held, broad-blade geometry allows controlled, directional retraction with tactile feedback to the operator. The 100 x 32 mm blade provides a low-profile platform for wide contact with the vaginal mucosa while preserving surgical field visibility. The simple single-piece configuration enables quick placement and repositioning during both surface inspection and operative maneuvers.
